Silver Spoons

Hey anyone remember this little gem from the 80's really loved the train through the house sorta like a real Richie Rich. Ricky Schroder has been on tv a lot lately talking about his new family movie he just made "Our Wild Hearts" on Hallmark movie channel but most of the interviews were asking about Silver Spoons and being one of the rare child stars that grew up without any problems like others had. Does anyone know why the rest of the series hasn't been released season 1 came out about 5 or so years ago I believe the show ran 5 years right that's a successful run isn't it?

Yup, I used to watch it all of the time as a kid. I remember watching Punky Brewster and Silver Spoons back-to-back. I have the first season DVD set... thus far the only season released. Also a year or two back, a channel called MeTV was rerunning the show, so I would watch it and DVR it a lot, particularly any episodes not on the first season set.

It's too bad they haven't even attempted to release the second season as a MOD release, like Sony did with the second season of Benson.

Punky Brewster got released all on dvd even included the cartoon series with it. That's a good idea a MOD release I hope they do release the rest of it the complete version not like ALF those are the syndicated versions on dvd yet other countries got the full version. I saw Ricky Schroder has a facebook page so I messaged him about it no response yet anyway.

I own the first season of Silver Spoons on DVD as well. I was unaware they hadn't released any others. I liked the show but wasn't a huge fan. I picked it up when Pepsi had that promotion a few years back and you could redeem codes for DVDs and such. I initially did it just to get She-Ra. Can't recall what season or volume it was. Anyway, to you Silver Spoons fans out there, I'm sure the other seasons will surface eventually. Once they finally released the final two seasons of "Taxi" on DVD, I was convinced that anything can happen.

That show had a lot of guests stars some to become big names like Whitney Houston, Christina Applegate, Joey Lawrence and if I remember right didn't the famous singer Pearl Bailey come on a couple times ran a diner or something?

Sunny. Yesterday my life was filled with rain. Sunny. You smiled at me and really eased the pain. Now the dark days are done and the bright days are here. My Sunny one shines so sincere. Sunny one so true. I love you. - Bobby Hebb

I just saw in a recent interview on Anderson Cooper the cast roasted Ricky Schroder in New York too bad that wasn't televised bet it was funny Ricky also mentioned he would be up to revisit Silver Spoons in a movie but didn't think at the time of what the storyline would be.

I remember the train, and that's honestly about it. I don't think any of the TV stations I've had over the years ever ran it since the 80s. I think the trend in the 80s was the rich lifestyle because there was a lot of focus on it, but it wasn't a trend that really lasted well when the 90s came along. I think most people relate better to the lower-middle class depiction- it's why the long-lasting sitcoms that got a strong hold in everyone's minds were Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Brady Bunch, Married With Children, Roseanne, etc.

That's what youtube is for! I think someone put up the whole series good quality too but I will still buy the series when it the rest come to dvd eventually hopefully with extras interviews stuff like that. I remember another show Gimme a Break got 2 season released in the U.S but the whole series got released in Canada which is still region 1 so its all good

I've been meaning to order that Gimme a Break set from Canada, but had been putting it off. I just went and ordered it after reading your post here!

I actually just ordered it from a highly rated 3rd party seller on the US Amazon site who had it for a good price. I checked the Canada site and I'm guessing it's out of print now since it seemed only 3rd party sellers were selling it there anyway.

I bought the Gimme a Break set as well its good and I have started watching Silver Spoons episodes on youtube some I don't remember but others I remember really well although the person putting them on says some are edited not sure why didn't think anything was controversial about that show. I did get a response from Ricky Schroder but not about Silver Spoons he had posted on facebook asking people too share stories about family in the military I posted one story and he replied "thanks for you comment" see he has a keek and twitter as well not a lot of likes on facebook or twitter/keek followers though.
